Thylane Blondeau and Benjamin Attal tied the knot in an intimate ceremony attended by close friends and family at the town hall in Paris's 16th arrondissement.
Ahead of the nuptials, Blondeau shared glimpses of her pre-wedding preparations and acknowledged her stylists and makeup artists for helping her get ready.

She wore a custom all-white, floor-length ivory silk crepe Eva Bouskila Bridal gown featuring a matching structured capelet overlay with buttons in the back. She carried a bouquet of cream-colored calla lilies.
Her hair was slicked back in a high bun adorned with fresh white daisies, and her makeup was done with Christian Dior products.

After the ceremony, Blondeau posted photos of herself and Attal signing the marriage registry and celebrating with the guests. She also shared a video of themselves arriving at the venue in a Porsche 356 Speedster.
Paparazzi captured additional videos of the couple inside, including one in which she walked up the red-carpet stairs with Attal.

As these videos went viral online, calling her the “most beautiful girl in the world,” disapproving comments poured in.
“The clannish bubble of the bourgeoisie disconnected from real life,” one user said. Another commented, “More good genes bite the dust.”
“I’ve seen so many more beautiful women. Silly to label one woman that,” said a third.

Thylane Blondeau and Ben Attal had been dating since 2020, shortly after the former ended her relationship with another French DJ, Milane Meritte.
On March 8, the couple got engaged during a trip to Athens, Greece. Attal proposed to her during a romantic outdoor dinner at the Michelin-rated Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel on the Athens Riviera, with panoramic views of the Aegean Sea.

“I said yes to my best friend,” Blondeau wrote in the post announcing the news. “Here’s to forever.”
The Daily Mail reported at the time that the ring was a two-carat oval-cut diamond worth around $45,000.

Blondeau began modeling at the age of four, debuting with Jean Paul Gaultier and later working with Dolce & Gabbana and L’Oreal. The Vogue Enfantes label gave her a meteoric rise in the industry, but Blondeau has admitted in recent years that she is not a fan of it.
In 2018, she told The Telegraph that she tries to distance herself from the moniker: “Even today, people are like, ‘you are the most beautiful girl,’ and I'm like, ‘no, I'm still not, I'm just a human being, a teenager.’”

Blondeau also called out the media for being invasive at her wedding: “The fact that you showed up in front of the town hall today didn't bother me. You were doing your job. On the other hand, I was deeply disturbed that some people broke into the town hall and streamed videos of our ceremony.”
“There’s a difference between photographing an outdoor event and meddling in a moment that was part of our intimacy,” she continued. “I just wish this line was respected. Today, I was not the topic. I was just a woman getting married.”

Blondeau’s mother, Véronika Loubry, also shared a set of photos from the wedding on her Instagram. Among them was a tribute to her late husband, Gérard Kadoche, who passed away in December 2025 due to pancreatic cancer.
After Loubry divorced from Thylane’s father, Patrick Blondeau, in 2016, she started dating Kadoche, a film producer and entrepreneur. The two were together for ten years before his recent demise.

“You have such an important place in my heart, in my life,” Thylane wrote at the time in a tribute. “I'm so grateful for everything you have taught me, for everything you have done for my mom, my little brother, and me. Life without you will never be the same.”
One of Loubry’s photos revealed that Thylane kept a black-and-white portrait of Kadoche at the ceremony, keeping her stepfather close on such a memorable day of her life.
“My great love forever,” read the text on the framed photograph.

After Thylane and Benjamin got engaged, Loubry shared on social media that her “son-in-law” had been a pillar of support during her husband’s struggle with cancer: “If he hadn’t been there, I don’t even know how I would have done.”
Thylane also struggled with a condition for a long time, which was further worsened by a delayed diagnosis.
In October 2021, she shared her drawn-out battle with ovarian cysts and how multiple medical professionals tried to convince her that it was all in her head.
She finally received the accurate treatment after a doctor found a 5-6 cm cyst that was touching her ovary, and underwent an emergency surgery.
